Polesitter Hamilton suffered too much wheelspin at the start as he dropped behind Sebastian Vettel and Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas at Turn 1, before being turned around by Raikkonen a few corners later as the pair collided.

Raikkonen was handed a 10-second time penalty for the clash and later admitted his punishment was deserved, while Hamilton staged a sublime comeback from towards the back of the field to finish second.
